The Islse pretexts aseigned for the veto become more transparent the more they are considered.

Mr. Chairman : The member from Michigan, in his remarks to the com mittee on April 18th, undertook to susthin his charges against the Demo cratic party by blackening the name of Louisiana. To effect this, he quoted in part from the majority report of the Teller committee, which he supple mented with striking pictures of out rage drawn from his own vivid imagi nation. It is a common experience that it is easier to hatch a foul brood of falsehood than it is to destroy it when It has once flown from its nest. It is a use less task to attempt to hunt down all the winged fictions from fertile brains of men bent on deception and strife, but I concelve it to be my duty not to permit false charges against the State I have the honor in part to represent to go unrebuked.

The struggle between the President and the Democrats in Congress seems likely to end, as we anticipated, In a surrender by the Democrats. They pro pose, it appears, to go before the coun try upon the proposition that they sought to repeal the obnoxious laws authorizing military Interference at the potis, by refusing to pass the approprl ation bills, and that the President would not assent to this, and he is therefore the responsible party. It further appears that all the appropria tion bills will be passed by Congress, and that Congress will quietly go home. As to the debates, we find 'that the -Democrats have not advanced one foot. With the exception of Senator Eaton, from the State of wooden nutmegs, none of the Republican Hectors have met with a match. Mr. Eaton has kept up the attack, as the conflict was de aigned to be at the outset by...
